If only this would hold up in The Netherlands, where speeding camera's are everywhere. Nowadays, we even have systems in several places that measure average speed over a certain distance, meaning braking for the camera won't work.
"This news comes from XS4All, one of the largest European ISPs..."
XS4All is a big provider in the Netherlands, but not the largest. They are definitely not one of the largest in Europe. They do however have a long history of standing up for the rights and privacy of their customers.
That's fine, but he uses the term "liberalism" in his sig, which does in fact have the same meaning in the US as it does in Europe
I merely pointed out where I thought his misconception came from, namely that what you call "liberals" have little to do with the "Liberalism" he mentions in his sig
He obviously does not, but fell for the misleading US practice of namecalling the people on the left of the political spectrum "liberals"
and "liberals" in turn seems to be equated with communists...at least by some people in the States...
here in Europe a "liberal" pretty much means the opposite of communist.
Actually, here in the Netherlands, reporters can be freed from prosecution from breaking the law if in doing so, the greater good was served to report on some big issue that might otherwise have never been brought to light.
For instance, a reporter who broke into an airport without authorization to show how sloppy the security was, was not prosecuted further after being charged.
Note that breaking the law is still illegal, it's just that no penalty will be imposed.
it really does not. I still find the available plug-ins and interface reason enough to continue FF as my main browser
even if it takes 2 second longer to load on start up...soit
It never stops to amaze me that so many Americans equate Socialism with Communism. They really are vastly different.
Most countries in Western Europe have had large "socialist" influence over the past decades and they have not been worse off for it.

Wonder if the bookmark option will come back. That made more sense to me anyway.
Interesting move. Time will tell if this move is more in the interest of shareholders and will hinder technological advancements...
Yeah, I totally recognize this.
And I don't consider it worth my time and effort to try and figure it out either.

This will be an interesting case to follow, with possible consequences for reselling other digital goods like games.

Credit Cards do not cost a lot of money. The one I have through the bank costs me €17,50 a year.
If you are a member of the ANWB (the Dutch AAA) which most people who own a car are, you can get a VISA card for €11,50 a year.

is a monopoly on something that is free, against the law?
I like novels with some philosophy in them, for instance I really like the books by Jostein Gaarder. His book "Maya" is one of my all-time favourites.

No. It indeed showed (a fraction of) things I recently downloaded using torrents
it really does not. I still find the available plug-ins and interface reason enough to continue FF as my main browser even if it takes 2 second longer to load on start up...soit
Amazing the USA still has the funds allocated to develop such things

so nothing to see here, I guess..
